U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. has been operating at full capacity over the past two days.

Claiming that the pool had suffered extensive damage from "vandals and radical left groups," Trump said that after the July 4 celebrations, the water would be drained and a rapid repair process would begin to fix damage to the waterproofing material at the bottom. The statement also said that an approximately 106-meter (350-foot) cut, allegedly made with sharp tools on the right side of the pool, would be repaired as part of the work, restoring the pool to its former pristine condition. Trump also stressed that nearly 70 restored monuments, statues, and fountains across Washington, D.C. are under strict protection by security forces, reminding that anyone who damages these structures could face up to 10 years in prison.
